Once again it started out strong and then sort of fizzled out at the end, but overall I enjoyed it more than the first entry. I didn't know what to expect going into this, but it sure wasn't Thor having a highly explosive temper tantum because he couldn't squeeze his two remaining braincells together to figure out that plane tickets cost money. The whole thing was chaotic, absurd and contrived and I enjoyed the hell out of it. But then, Douglas Adams can describe a fridge for pages at a time and I'll be comfortably entertained. He's just that funny. Sad to hear he never got to continue the series.

It's a great book, but ultimately I doubt I'll reread it. I love all of the ideas and there's something about how Douglas Adams constructs sentences that is just brilliant, but it's just missing something of the spark that Hitchhiker's has
